Fire Fighter Licence Plate Application

The Motor Registration Division of Service NL and the Fire and Emergency Services – Newfoundland and Labrador have worked together to implement a Fire Fighter Licence plate program.

There are established criteria for eligibility to receive a fire fighter licence plate. Persons who wish to avail of this program are required to contact the Fire and Emergency Services Fire Fighter Licence Plate Contact Information who administer the application process. Once forms are approved by Fire and Emergency Services applicants can receive a fire fighter plate from local across the province.

There is no initial fee for the plate however; the registration renewal fee for a fire fighter plate will be the standard registration fee for passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles less than 4500 kg. Fire fighter plates will only be issued for use on passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles less than 4500 kg.

Obtaining a fire fighter licence plate

Your regular "A", "H" “J” or "C" plate must be removed from the vehicle and the fire fighter plate attached to the rear of the vehicle. When the vehicle is sold, the fire fighter plate is removed and the regular plate re-attached. The fire fighter plate can then be registered to your next vehicle.
